Dragon Martial Sword Supreme

Last time Ye Chenxiao hosted a banquet, only five geniuses from Dajin Country came. This time, no fewer than nine showed up.

Among the additional four, two were familiar to Zhao Letian—the first being his fellow sect elder, Li, and the other the Commandery Princess and battle king's daughter, Ye Junrou.

However, Zhao Letian was currently in disguise, so neither Li nor Ye Junrou knew his true identity.

But for some reason, both Li and Ye Junrou took a deep look at Zhao Letian.

Besides those from Dajin Country, representatives of Gray Wolf Kingdom and Thunder Swamp Country had also all arrived.

In addition, there were ten more genius martial artists present, all clad in crimson red robes, their eyes faintly flickering with the light of flames.

No questions needed to be asked; these individuals were naturally the representatives from Skyfire Country sent to enter the Imperial Secret Realm.

"True Martial Seventh Realm? Hmph, you must be Zhao Zilong from Gray Wolf Kingdom, right? Such arrogance. Among us, your cultivation is the lowest, yet you've arrived the latest, making so many of us wait for you. Who do you think you are?"

Zhao Letian had not yet sat down when a lean young man about eighteen or nineteen years old from Skyfire Country looked over coldly and scolded him without politeness.

"Lin Yu? Hot-tempered, possessing a Fiery Flame Martial Soul, at the minor completion of True Martial Ninth Realm, has mastered the ninth level of fiery power, adept at manipulating Abnormal Fires. Within Skyfire Country, he is ranked tenth."

Zhao Letian looked back with cold eyes, instantly calling up the information about the man in his mind.

"What are you looking at? Am I wrong? Those of low cultivation should have the self-awareness to come early and wait respectfully for us. That's what someone as weak as you should be doing, making the strong ones wait for you, that is your fault."

Lin Yu said arrogantly.

In Lin Yu's eyes, Zhao Letian, who only had a cultivation of True Martial Seventh Realm, simply wasn't qualified to be compared with these top geniuses, and even less worthy of making the strong ones wait.

"Do you think you are right? You said I have the lowest cultivation, but what about Ye Rui from Dajin Country? Right now, I am at the peak of True Martial Seventh Realm, while Ye Rui only has the major completion of True Martial Seventh Realm, which is even lower than mine. Yet you don't mention him at all. Are you trying to ignore his existence?"

Zhao Letian didn't get angry, just replied calmly.

As his words fell, everyone's gaze turned towards Ye Rui.

Zhao Letian was right; currently, the one with the lowest cultivation was Ye Rui.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Rui felt extremely annoyed and frowned as he glanced at Zhao Letian.

He remembered clearly that more than a month ago, during his fight with Zhao Letian, Zhao Letian was only at the major completion of True Martial Seventh Realm, even slightly weaker than him, but now he had actually surpassed him, which made him doubt his own talent and whether he was really inferior to Zhao Letian.

"Humph, don't try to sow discord. Prince Ye Rui is a young hero I respect. Who are you to be compared with Prince Ye Rui? Although Prince Ye Rui's cultivation might be a bit lower, his actual combat ability is far beyond what you can imagine."

Lin Yu snorted disdainfully.

He wasn't aware of the fight between Zhao Letian and Ye Rui, only knowing that according to Skyfire Country's intelligence, Zhao Letian was just an obscure little soldier from Gray Wolf Kingdom, without any backing or power. Many of the Gray Wolf Kingdom's geniuses even had conflicts with Zhao Letian, and so he dared to rebuke Zhao Letian without fear.

As Lin Yu finished speaking, everyone looked at Ye Rui with strange expressions.

They were very clear that in the previous fight, Ye Rui hadn't gained any advantage at all. In fact, one might even say he was slightly at a loss, hence to talk about actual combat ability, Zhao Letian was by no means weak.

"Keep your matter between the two of you; don't drag me into this."

Ye Rui's face reddened with annoyance as he spoke.

Although he was not afraid of Zhao Letian, Lin Yu's outright belittlement of Zhao Letian greatly irked him because it seemed like an indirect insult to himself; after all, the Zhao Letian that Ye Rui spoke of as if he wasn't even worth a hit had previously forced him to utilize the Royal Family's Martial Soul of Dajin Country.

Lin Yu was slightly startled, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

He had just been kissing up to Ye Rui, never expecting that it would cause Ye Rui to be displeased.

"Whether one's cultivation is high or low, I won't comment, but you actually said I was the last to arrive. I really want to ask you: Are you blind?"

Zhao Letian said coldly.

"What do you mean? Aren't you the last one to have arrived? Everyone besides you has been here for quite some time."

Lin Yu furrowed his eyebrows.

"It seems you truly are blind. Over there at Dajin Country, there are a total of ten seats, yet only nine have been filled. Could it be that you've also ignored the one who hasn't arrived?"

Zhao Letian looked towards the empty seats of Dajin Country.

"That person? Hmph, you really are fearlessly ignorant. Do you actually know who he is? To dare bring him into this, it's like you're seeking death."

Lin Yu sneered coldly.

"No need for your reminder, I know perfectly well who he is—the Crown Prince of Dajin Country, Ye Zhenxiao, an unsurpassed presence beneath the Sect Martial Realm."

Zhao Letian spoke indifferently.

He had already memorized the information of the representatives of the various countries, and thus, a quick glance was enough to tell who was missing from Dajin Country.

"Knowing that it's Ye Zhenxiao, you should be aware of his temperament. Although he is devoted to martial arts and indifferent to world affairs, anyone who dares provoke him only ends up dead."

Lin Yu said solemnly, his eyes flickering with a mix of fear and reverence.

Although he was from Skyfire Country, he had long heard of Ye Zhenxiao's great reputation. A true powerhouse, no matter where they hail from, deserves respect.

"I'm merely stating a fact. If that offends him, then I have nothing more to say. Of course, I believe that the Crown Prince of Dajin Country's magnanimity is certainly not as narrow-minded as yours."

Zhao Letian said coldly.

"Audacious! Who do you think you are to say that this prince has a narrow mind? You're truly courting death."

Lin Yu stood up swiftly, slightly lifting his palm. Within his palm, a cluster of purple flames emerged, emanating a terrifying force that made hearts palpitate.

"Abnormal Fire? Using this for alchemy or artifact refining should significantly increase the success rate, right?"

Zhao Letian gazed at the purple Abnormal Fire, his eyes revealing a burning desire.

"Hehe, gentlemen, please calm your anger. Today's banquet is to formally welcome you, the talents, so let's not spoil the congenial atmosphere. As for my royal brother, he's currently in closed-door cultivation, hence he couldn't attend the banquet today. I hope everyone will understand."

At this moment, Ye Chenxiao, the host as the second Prince, finally spoke with a smile.

"Second Prince, this man has insulted me. If I do not make a statement today, I'm afraid others might think that we from Skyfire Country are weak and easily bullied."

Lin Yu, however, was not willing to let the matter rest.
